   Someone mentioned Patricia C. Wrede's Magician's Ward, but I don't
   think anyone's mentioned her Enchanted Forest Chronicles yet. Those
   were my absolute favorite books at that age, and I still read them
   all the time.

Me, three!!!  How could I forget them?  I was enchanted (pardon it) when 
  I picked up Dealing with Dragons, and the princess got magical advice 
to leave the castle, ignore the people at the oasis, and enter the 
tumbledown shack.  She did *exactly* what the magical advice told her to 
do!!!  The first not-totally-stupid (in fact, very bright) princess in 
history!
